Ps Selection
0 Selects High Speed Draft print density.
1 Selects High Speed Draft print density.
2 Selects Near Letter Quality 2 (NLQ2) print density.
3 Selects Draft print density.
4 Selects Near Letter Quality 1 (NLQ1) print density.
Note
There is an interaction between DECDEN and the PRINT QUALITY
feature in the GENERAL set-up menu.
If the PRINT QUALITY feature is set to ‘‘software control,’’ DECDEN is
active. If it is set to ‘‘HSD Locked,’’ ‘‘NLQ1 Locked,’’ or ‘‘NLQ2 Locked,’’
the print quality is locked to the appropriate setting and subsequent
DECDEN commands are stored. When the print quality is unlocked
by the front panel switch, the LA310 MultiPrinter processes the stored
DECDEN commands.
The bold, overline, and slant attributes are not available in High Speed Draft
(HSD) mode. When these attributes and the High Speed Draft density are
both specified, the LA310 MultiPrinter will temporarily use the Draft density
for printing.

The Pss parameter of the DECDLD command indicates the print density for
the downloaded font. The font set sizes associated with the print densities
supported by the LA310 are given in Table 12–4. For more information on
DECDLD, refer to the Command Dictionary.
